Eve~
I tried not to run to the door when I heard the knock. I took a deep breath before I opened it, but my stomach sank when I saw another woman on the other side. Sharp green eyes, clad in designer clothes, and every bit of her dripping with hostility. I recognized her instantly—the woman from Hades' office and the former queen of Obsidian Pack, Felicia Stavros.
"Your high...ness," I greeted, but she cut me off with a hand. She pushed past me, stepping on me as she did, her pointed heel making me grimace in pain.
She crossed her arms over her chest, analyzing the room before her eyes slowly and eventually fell on me. They narrowed, scrutinizing.
Her lips curled into a smug smirk, as if she'd already decided I wasn't worth her time. "So, you're the one who's been causing all the fuss," she said, her voice as sharp as her gaze. She looked me up and down, her eyes lingering on my clothes with thinly veiled disgust. "I expected more. Much more."
